Answer 1

To find the sum of \(-23\), \(-17\), and \(10\), you can follow these steps:

1. First, add the two negative numbers: \[ -23 + (-17) = -23 - 17 = -40 \]

2. Next, add \(10\) to the result: \[ -40 + 10 = -30 \]

So, the sum of \(-23 + -17 + 10\) is \(-30\).

The correct response is: −30 or negative 30.
